Vegas Movie Maker 16.0 Platinum

Tony-Adnum wrote on 10/10/2023, 4:34 AM

I have just purchased a new computer.

I have completed a new project that was started on the previous computer. I am using Windows 10.

My problem is with the rendering of the project. The vision (photos & video) renders OK but the audio doesn’t.

After the vision renders the following message appears; “The selected encode format requires the download of an add-on software module the first time the format is used. If you wish to proceed, ensure your PC is connected to the internet, then click Yes”.

I have clicked Yes and the following message pops up; “Operational error. Installation failed, code: - 1 On some systems this problem can be avoided by starting the application with the Windows “Run as Administrator” option then rendering the project again. After the component has downloaded successfully, the application can be closed and restarted normally, without the “Run as Administrator” option”.

I believe I have completed the above instruction but the problem still exists.

I also believe the problem could be due to the make up of the new computer.

Please help me.

Thank you

Tony Adnum

I am not sure why this question has been posted 4 times - I suppose that a moderator will remove the 3 duplicates.

Presuming that you are referring to Vegas Movie Studio 16 Platinum, what is the audio format (codec) that you are using?

From point 10 in https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/vegas-pro-faqs-and-troubleshooting-guides--104787/:

VEGAS Pro (14.0 and later) cannot be activated offline. The following codecs require online additional activation the first time they are used in each version. Therefore if you connect your PC to the internet especially to activate VEGAS, it is recommended to also make short renders in these formats before disconnecting, if you anticipate using them:

  • Intel HEVC/MAGIX ProRes
  • Magix AVC/AAC MP4
  • MainConcept MPEG-2
  • MP3 Audio
  • AAC Audio
  • Dolby Digital AC-3 Studio
  • Sony XAVC-L/XAVC Intra MXF

The above applies to Vegas Pro but it would be expected that theis would also apply to VMSP16 all or partially.
